It appeared that he’d done a dirty during qualifying on Saturday afternoon. I am in-between thoughts at the moment  on that. I don’t know if I agree with the  stewards decision to put him last because it could have happened to anyone. What if someone else had crashed in those dying seconds of the lap and caused Alonso to ruin his lap, would they have penalised that person? 

I agree he manages to do the most ridiculous things sometimes and I am in no way defending his actions in qualifying, but it just shows you how much he is feared amongst the other drivers. They all jumped on the band waggon to criticise him as if they are all saints. This just shows you that they can’t stand the fact that they can’t achieve even in their wildest dreams what Michael has achieved in his career.

Still, the race from his point of view was excellent. He started last and finished 5th, on a race track that is very difficult to pass and he managed to clock the fastest lap time. He is still my race driver of the day and funny enough the only person who can challenge Alonso. What does that say about the other drivers? Where did all those drivers making the snide comments finish?

Yes, it’s true. We received a letter from the home office this morning telling us that our application for British Citizenship has been successful. It’s only taken six months :-(  and a silly Britishness test!

We are waiting for another letter to tell us when we can attend the Citizenship Ceremony and then I would imagine it will be a couple more bob before we have a British Passport.

UPDATE!
We got our letters inviting us to the Citizenship Ceremony. It is on the 4th of July, so not long to wait now!
